Someone was suggesting "Kate Bush's work was significantly more robust
when she was experimenting less....She should stick with what she
knows. Leave the experimenting to the professionals."
This attitude has surfaced in such mindless wonders of civilization
as the "Holy Inquisition", the disbelief of the Wright Bros.
claim that they could fly, the inattention that killed such
greats as Vincent Van Gogh, the chains that have held back
women achievers in every field of science and literature,
and most recently, the severe decline in standards of living
for musicians and artists in the world today. I regard this
as an actual physical attack on the lives and creative souls
of musicians around the world.
Listen, I like Peter Gabriel too. If you had said that to
HIM before he ever put on his flower suit, who would you
be listening to now? the Monkees?
As a final observation, this person who says "...She should stick with
what she knows..." does NOT know too much themselves, and should
disobey their own instructions before their BRAIN shrivels up
and atrophies. Or don't listen to music, go to church or something
stupid with an attitude like that. But don't hamper the
efforts of fine musicians like Kate Bush.
